Oppo has announced the upcoming global launch of its latest foldable phone – the Oppo Find N5 – and this one is set to be the thinnest foldable phone to date. Well almost, Oppo is very careful to caveat the thinnest moniker with “book style”, as Huawei has a tri-folding device that when unfolded is slightly slimmer than the Oppo – although the Oppo Find N5 has it beat when folded due to Huawei’s three screens.
I have my hands on the phone, and I can confirm – it's impressively thin. So thin in fact that Oppo has had to redesign the USB port with just a sliver of metal separating it from the edges of the case. The crease has also been dramatically reduced, so much so that it is barely noticeable during use – and only in the right light. Despite feeling impossibly thin, the Find N5 also comes with a triple water resistance rating of IPX6, X8, and X9.
